The telephone people in Chicago are patting in a system by which one subscriDer can connect with aad call np another without the in tervention of the "Hello" girl.

President Roosevelt must have a very warm feeling for Senator Car mack, of Tennessee. He told aTen nesseean delegation, a few days ago, that he would "see Carmack in hell" before he would grant him any official favors. Dr. Lorenz thinks the 'American trained nurse, the ideal nurse. They are educated ladies different in this respect from nurses in Europe, who are looked upon as servants," and therefore he is not surprised at rich patients marrying their nurses.

The negro was on his way down town to work and was InstanJUx; UUed-Xwa -oCth ungera of his left hand were burned entirely off and were found on the ground: after the body had been re moved. Therifht arm. above the el bow, was burned to the bone.. Coroner Bell -viewed the remain but deemed an inquest unnecessary as the cause of his death was plainly apparent. vereen was a native of Little River. 8. GL, aad boarded on Fourth, between Church and Castle street. In a hurry to get to his work he took a path across the vacant lot and finding the wire suspended low, he took hold of it to let himself under. Persons who witnessed the accident said the negro fell in stantly, writhing, in agony and the wire emitting blue flames, where it came In contact with the flesh. A tele phone message was tent to the power house of the Consolidated Hallways, Light and Power Co. and the current was cut off. Police Sergeant C. 8. Burnett took charge of ' the remains and sent them to Vereen's boarding house but admission was refused and the body was taken in charge by others until relatives could be communicated with. The steamer Sanders, of the Little River line, has been chartered and the negro's remains will be taken this morning to his old home for in terment. . - The guy wire with which the negro came in contact was fastened to the top of a pole on the vacant lot, but it had slipped down in some way across an are light wire and had become heavily charged with $3,000 volts as stated. Vereen got the full force of it The a R, L. & P. Co. had no knowledge that the wire was down, and the opinion is expressed that the pole was knocked down by cart used the day before in hauling material on the lot for a building that Is being constructed there.

Boney, Executive Committee. It is not known what effect, if any, the telegram will have, Las Represen tative Morton opposed the bill when it went through the House on Its second reading Thursday by a vote of M to 20. Mr. Morton based his objection, with that of sveral others, on the ground that the town governments should be left to arrange; such matters for themselves. In other words, the plea of local self government was made. The only other matter of Importance transacted yesterday at the meeting of the Executive Committee upon which the members named In the above telegram were in attendance with the exception of Mr. Malloy, was the hearing of a ' petition from many citizens of Brunswick county, asking for the co-operation of the Chamber in securing' government aid in opening Bhallotte river to navigation by freight steamboats of appreciable size. The advantages of such an improvement were very clear ly set forth. The steamer Franklin JHerce was recently built and a reg ular line from Wilmington to Shal- Iote was opened, but the obstructions in the river made its operation impractica ble. The petition was referred to the Committee on Harbor, Shipping and Commerce, composed of Messrs. W. E. Worth, EL O. SmsHbones, B. F. Hall, EL W. Malloy, James Sprant, 8. F. Craig and Jno. EL Brown, with a re quest that an investigation of the needed work be made. The committee adjourned to Mon day night at 8 o'clock when business will be transacted looking to the for mulation of very exhaustive industrial reports to be presented at the annual meeting the first Thursday in May. The fiscal year of the Chamber closes on March 81st, so that ample time will be allowed to have the reports com plete in time for the' annual meeting. COTTOa AND NaVAL STOKES.

In naval stores there yraa a falling off in all items except spirits in which there was a gain of one cask, and cotton receipts were 7,171 bales, against 1,787 bales same wees: last year.- xne receipts since Sept. 1st have been 819,095 bales or only about 4,000 bales short of what the receipts were for the heaviest entire crop year In the history of the port, From Sept 1st last season to a corresponding date the 'receipts were 241,877 bales. The naval store year will end next month with a Tery fair increase in receipts of all products. The schooner Jno. W. Dana clear ed yesterday with a cargo of lumber consigned by the Angola Lumber Co. to New York. The steamer Carib arrived Thurs day night from Georgetown, 8. Q, bringing with other freight 113 bales of cotton. She will clear for New York' this afternoon. Faneral of Mrs. Piver. The funeral of the late Mrs. Sarah Piver, whose death has been an nounced, was conducted at 3 P.M. yesterday from the late residence, 519 Nun street, by Ber. F. M. Shambur ger, pastor of Fifth Street M. E. church. A . large number of friends were present and the floral tributes were many and very pretty. The in terment was in Oakdale, the following having acted as pall-bearers: Messrs. J. M. MeGowan, T. G. Landen, Wm. Huhn, W. K. Bell and D. iS. Bender. Kllllar Near Wallace, M. C. ' Wednesday night about 10 o'clock, near Wallace, Mr. Robert Rivenbark, son of Mr. J. T.

Young Rivenbark, who U about 25 years of age, went to some negro .houses near the town to get some hands to work on the following day. Teachey is said to have beep at one of the houses and -fired upon Rivenbark without provocation. 'Pdrtner's Bock Beer Is known to be the. finest tonio In Spring; it takes away that tired feeling. - t RESTRAINING ORDER. Wilmington Sewerage Company. Will Be Enjoined from Charg ing Advanced Rates. BEFORE JUDOS' K. B. PEEBLES Outcome ef Meeting Held Recently la Chamber of Commerce by Or!!aal Sabscrlbers, Who Clslm to Have Perpetual Contracts . ; Original subscribers to the service of the Wilmington Sewerage Company, before its absorption by Philadelphia Capitalists, will fight to a finish In the courts the. recent advance In rates, notice of which was aent out. Jan. 1st from the home office in Pennsylvania. The first step in this fight was made yesterday when Messrs; Marsden Bel lamy and George Rountree, counsel for jthasuhacrilraVff they would sue out a writ of Injunc tion, restraining the Sewerage Com pany from cutting off the service be cause of non-payment of the advanced rates. The injunction will be served most probably to day and will come from Judge Peebles, who is holding court this week at Burgaw, Pender county. Readers of the Star will remember that the notice of the advance was re ceived with a storm of disapproval by the original subscribers at the outset. A meeting of fifty, members or more of ihrm was held In the Chamber of Commerce and their grievances were very generally aired. They claimed that they had contracts with the com- psny by which they paid $25 or $50 for connection fees, with the under! standing they were to receive perpet ual service at $4 or $2 per year, res pec tively. At the meeting a committee, consisting of Mr. ; William Gilchrist,' (chairman), Co1. Walker Taylor, (secretary and treasurer) and Messrs. R. C. Cantwell, Geo. 8. LeGrand and B. Solomon were appointed to have in charge the resistance of the rates. Each of the orcinal subscriber was assessed $3 each to carry on the litiga tion which has now commenced. The legal question involved is whether the present company Is bound by contracts of the old organisation, which has not changed names or charter, so the sub scribers claim. THE AUDIT AND FINANCE BOARD. Postponed Seai-Moathly Meeting Last Nlf hi Uttle easiness of Isterest Very little business out of the rou tine was transacted at last nisrbt's post poned regular meeting of the Board of Audit and Finance upon which all members were in attendance. A . communication from the Alder men was read and the Board refused to concur In the award of contract for trees for the Fifth street plaza, one of the grounds being that the season Is too late for planting. Action of the Aldermen in ordering a gas light to be placed in front of the colored Chesnut Street Presbyterian church was concurred in, the same to be established according to the light ing contract. The light will cost $33 per year. Further action of the Aldermen in refunding $17.88 tax, erroneously paid by Mr. B. G. Worth on Seacoast rail road stock, was concurred in as was also a small appropriation asked for by Aldermen Tiencken " for the build- ins: of an out-house in the city pound.

The Senate to-day tabled the bill urged by the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Boards of Trade of North Caro lina to appoint a committee to Investi gate alleged discriminations in freight rates. London eb aracterlzed it as nothing more than a scheme' to pro vide somebody with a job.' : A bill wastiatroddced or Justice and Immediately passedf appropriating $30, 000 of funds in the treasury not other wise appropriated: for a State exhibit at (be St Louis Exposition, It went to the House and was referred to the Appropriation Committee. A similar bill was voted down by the House last night. The Senate called up the general appropriations bill as passed last night, made some minor changes and It was sent to the House. The bill incorporating the State Audubon 8ociety and protecting game and song birds passed the Senate as It came from the House. It'nrovides that non resident hunters shall pay $25 license annually to hunt, and no sportsman can carry more than 50 birds out of the Slate at one time. Game wardens are to be appointed by the Governor. - The Senate amended the Utate bond issue bill by allowing the BUte to issue bonds to the amount of $500,000 at not more than 4 per cent., instead of $300, 000 at not more than 3 per cent., as the House bill provided. The amended bill was sent immediately to the House, which refused concurrence and a con ference committee was appointed. The Senate amendments were by Senator J. A. Brown. ' House bills to incorporate the Eliza beth City and Carolina Through Line R. R. Co., and to provide for better working of the roads in Sampson county were passed. Other bills passed were: To incorporate the Piedmont Central Railroad Co.; to incorporate the Lumberton and Raleigh Railroad; to appropriate $500 to restore and pre serve the Caswell monument at Kin aton. ' A bill supplementary to the act re pealing the Federal Point township stock law in New Hanover county, was passed by the Senate. The bill provides that the county, instead of the township, bear the ex pense of the fence. Morton said he made the change because Federal Point had paid her proportion of the fence law between New Hanover and Pender for the benefit of the whole county and now it seemed fair for the county to help her out in its present fence law. It is estimated that the cost of building the fence will be $3,000. . ' The Senate in executive session con firms! nominations by the Governor for directors of the State Normal and Industrial College at Greensboro, as follows: T. B. Bailey, Seventh dis trict; R. T. Gray, Fourth district, and Wm. Shaw, First district. Recess was taken until 4 o'clock by the Senate.
